too steep an angle. Nails can rico-

chet, causing personal injury. Never

re the Stapler/Nailer into the air, or

point it toward yourself or another

person. Always wear ANSI approved

WARNING: 24. Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activi-

ties contain chemicals known (to the

State of California) to cause cancer,

birth defects, or other reproductive

harm. Some examples of these

chemicals are:

* Lead from lead-based paints,

* Crystalline silica from bricks, ce-

GROUNDING

TO PREVENT

ELECTRIC SHOCK

AND DEATH FROM

INCORRECT GROUNDING

WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualied

electrician if you are in doubt

as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. Do not

modify the power cord plug

provided with the tool. Never

remove the grounding prong

from the plug. Do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug

is damaged. If damaged, have

it repaired by a service facility

before use. If the plug will not

t the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualied

electrician.

Double Insulated Tools: Tools

with Two Prong Plugs

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do 1.

not require grounding. They have

a special double insulation system

which satises OSHA requirements

and complies with the applicable

standards of Underwriters Labora-

tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard

Association, and the National Electri-

cal Code. (See Outlets for 2-Prong

Plug.)

Double insulated tools may be used 2.

in either of the 120 volt outlets shown

in the preceding illustration. (See

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

Extension Cords

Grounded1. tools require a three wire

extension cord. Double Insulated

tools can use either a two or three

wire extension cord.

As the distance from the supply outlet 2.

increases, you must use a heavier

gauge extension cord. Using exten-

sion cords with inadequately sized

wire causes a serious drop in voltage,

resulting in loss of power and pos-

sible tool damage.

(See Table A.)

The smaller the gauge number of the 3.

wire, the greater the capacity of the

cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord

can carry a higher current than a 16

gauge cord. (See Table A.)

When using more than one exten-4.

sion cord to make up the total length,

make sure each cord contains at

least the minimum wire size required.

(See Table A.)

If you are using one extension cord 5.

for more than one tool, add the

nameplate amperes and use the sum

to determine the required minimum

cord size. (See Table A.)

SKU 93749 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 6

If you are using an extension cord 6.

outdoors, make sure it is marked with

the sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor

use.

Make sure the extension cord is prop-7.

erly wired and in good electrical con-

dition. Always replace a damaged

extension cord or have it repaired by

a qualied electrician before using it.

Protect the extension cords from 8.

sharp objects, excessive heat, and

damp or wet areas.
